Hi lybrate-user After an ectopic pregnancy, the chance of recurrence is very low. And there is always a good chance of successful pregnancy. Am attaching an evidence based Patient Information Leaflet. Though some points are for the UK population, the bulk of it applies to all women with ectopic. There is not way to avoid it.

After ectopic pregnancy there are 70% chances of successful pregnancy .about 15% chances of repeat ectopic .pt who have had ectopic should not go for IUD insertion, and if develop pelvic infections should get them treated. Once you conceive should get there serial beta HCG levels done ,once hcg level >1500 should go for trans vaginal sonogram to confirm intrauterine pregnancy.

The reported incidence of ectopic pregnancy in the general population is 1%.Women who have experienced an ectopic pregnancy generally have a 10% to 15% risk for another ectopic pregnancy. The good news is that most women who have had an ectopic pregnancy will not have another one. The bad news is there are no options available to eliminate this risk entirely except adoption.
